Bembe

I love it you listen to the lyrics and you know what it says.thank you

Muy buena musica

Love the music of drums

This is truly one of the all-time great recordings of the 20th century. It captures the "Bembe" ritual from start to finish of the Santeria religion, from which much of Cuba's music derived. The percussion is driven by a trio of drummers playing the Bata drums - Iya, Omele and Okonkolo, which together conjure polyrhythms whose origins are distinctly African ... specifically Yoruban from what is now Nigeria. Any serious student of Afro-Cuban music *must* purchase this recording. And note the value of used discs (today listed at $69.99); this is a rare and much-sought-after recording that was once only available on vinyl. Get it while it's re-issued. Because it's bound to drop back out of print. And you'll have to pay a hefty premium.

MR.CARDONA STARTED OFF AS A BASS PLAYER IN NEW YORK CITY UNTIL HE SAW MONGO SANTAMARIA (REST IN PEACE) PLAYING IN THE STREETS OF NEW YORK, THE REST I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU. HE HAS A VERY SIMPLE, SINCERE WAY OF CHANTING THAT GETS INTO YOUR SKIN LIKE A LAXATIVE CLEANSING YOU OF ALL FILTH. IF YOU CLAIM TO LOVE THIS TYPE OF CULTURE WITHOUT HAVING BEMBE IN YOUR COLLECTION...YOUR FEET STINK AND YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS!!!

CONTAINS MOST OF THE ORISHAS CHANTS IN AN EXCELLENT RECORDING. THE CHORUS RESEMBLES THOSE IN THE YORUBA TRIBE IN ANCIENT TIME A MOST TO BUY.

BEMBE is a motst beutifull music prayer for yoruba goods.

Chants and drumming evokes childhood recollections.On the lookout for such spiritually uplifting African drumming music.
